Keep syntax highlighting when highlighting current line

[sim...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am using the following code to highlight the current line in emacs:

(global-hl-line-mode 1)
(set-face-background 'hl-line "#111")

The problem is that code in the current line will not be highlighted according with the current font-lock mode colors. it's just white on black.

Is there a way to highlight the current line, but keep the syntax highlighting from font-lock?

Thanks!

get rid of the second line and customise the hl-line face (M-x
customize-face RET hl-line RET). disable the inherit feature and set the
background colour to #111. that should leave the foreground colour alone.
